The secret to making this easy Pickle Brined Oven Fried Chicken Thighs recipe!

Chicken thighs

Some people are fans of fried chicken wings or chicken breasts. But I recommend using chicken thighs to make the crispiest chicken ever. In my opinion, chicken thighs are an underrated cut of poultry. They’re inexpensive, full of flavor, and oh-so juicy!

Pickle juice

I have been missing out on this secret ingredient until recently! If you have leftover pickle juice, don’t toss it! Use it to marinade your chicken instead. The salt in the pickle juice helps tenderize the chicken. And all of those zesty seasonings add a bunch of flavor to the chicken!

Argo® Corn Starch

All I used to coat my chicken was a mixture of Argo® Corn Starch, flour, and seasonings. I popped the chicken in the oven and magic happened! Just look at that glorious, golden, crispy outside!

Argo® Corn Starch helps keeps the coating mixture light and airy (it’s the leading corn starch brand with over 100 years of quality and trust over multiple generations). Once the chicken is cooked, you can just see the crunch that’s about to happen in every bite!Argo® Corn Starch is the secret ingredient you’ve been looking for​!

There are so many other uses for Argo® Corn Starch besides making crispy, oven-fried chicken. It’s a kitchen staple you can use to thicken sauces and soups, add to baking to hold your desserts together, or even use to make slime!

Put all of these secret ingredients together and you’ll be enjoying a whole lot of yum! Serve this oven-fried chicken dish with a side of pickles, Ranch, and slaw or salad!
